Old Ways IC

[Altair_the_Vexed]

With stoic bearing, Talsarios carries his friend's body away. Once in the woods, he sets about gathering stout logs of fallen wood and building a pyre.

"Stefan," he asks as he gathers the wood, "do you know the Thyatian rites for the passing of the soul? I would send his shade on with all home customs, since I cannot wholly bear his body back home."
